WOW, OK, will you be my friend? You have done everything I was thinking about doing. Albeit far better then I could even imagine. It's funny we have the exact same car down to the color as well.

So, about that CIA Box, think you could fab up a second one just like it for a mfz buddy and he'll paypal you some beer $$ maybe?

I was thinking of Bottom Mount ram horn, but I see you went with top. Doesn't it make it easier on plumbing to go bottom?

No dyno plots yet. There aren't any dynos near here that are worth going to. Next time a dyno day drive it planned, I may join the gang to get it done.

I wanted to keep my AC so the top mount was the better solution to make it fit. It was easy to route the charge piping down as it clears the AC lines with 2.75" pipes. In most cases PS is what gets in the way of routing the charge pipes downward.

I saved the patterns, so I can make more CAI boxes.

You can't go wrong with ARTech. Not only is his attention to detail great, but he stands behind his work. I went with a mild steel manifold and SS exhaust. I got the whole setup from him to ensure all the parts will work together.

I've found him to be very helpful even before I have purchased my manifold.

Getting ready for the first event this weekend.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that you needed to maintain the flow from the back of the head to the mixing manifold even if you bypassed the heater. If there isn't circulation through the block you can end up with localized hot spots. Besides, now that you have your reroute completed you will benefit from the flow moving past the sensor side of your thermostat helping to keep the readings accurate.

Don't think he's going to have any overheating issues for a while.

Nice trailer setup.

I ran two laps at the track. I heard a clunk after completing the second lap and it was all over. The boost was limited to 10PSI, but the torque was too much for the stock rods.
